AWS launches open source Neo-AI project to accelerate ML deployments on edge devices Amazon Web Services

At re:Invent 2018, we announced Amazon SageMaker Neo, a new machine learning feature that you can use to train a machine learning model once and then run it anywhere in the cloud and at the edge. Today, we are releasing the code as the open source Neo-AI project under the Apache Software License. This release enables processor vendors, device makers, and deep learning developers to rapidly bring new and independent innovations in machine learning to a wide variety of hardware platforms. Ordinarily, optimizing a machine learning model for multiple hardware platforms is difficult because developers need to tune models manually for each platform's hardware and software configuration. This is especially challenging for edge devices, which tend to be constrained in compute power and storage.
